Producer prices in Bulgaria rose by 8.4% year-on-year in February 2026, slowing from an 11.3% increase in the previous month. This marked the lowest reading since September last year, mainly due to a softer price growth in the manufacturing sector (2.1% vs 5.9% in January). The slowdown was driven particularly by sharp declines in prices for the manufacture of food products (-1.2% vs 11.2%) and tobacco products (-0.8% vs -7.6%). Additionally, producer inflation slightly eased for mining and quarrying (46.3% vs 50%) as price growth slowed for other mining and quarrying (5.7% vs 12.8%), while costs remained sharply high for metal ores (66.5% vs 48.5%). Meanwhile, costs continued to increase for electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning (7.4% vs 7.2%). On a monthly basis, producer prices edged up by 0.1% in February, easing from a 6.6% gain in the preceding period. source: National Statistical Institute, Bulgaria

Additionally, producer inflation slightly eased for mining and quarrying (46.3% vs 50%) as price growth slowed for other mining and quarrying (5.7% vs 12.8%), while costs remained sharply high for metal ores (66.5% vs 48.5%).
